SKU CH-M2EH-C23AT

Converts external SFF8088 Mini SAS signals to internal SFF8087 ports via a PCI-bracketed PCBA for RAID and HBA expansion

  • Dual-port SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 conversion connects external SAS cables to internal backplanes
  • PCI bracket provides secure rear-panel mounting for fixed installation in servers
  • PCBA circuit board maintains signal integrity during high-speed SAS transmission
  • No driver required, pure hardware passthrough simplifies RAID and HBA expansion
  • Tool-ready bracket fits standard PCI slots for desktop and server chassis

DualPorts Mini SAS Adapter

This SMUGDESK adapter converts two external SFF8088 female ports to two internal SFF8087 female ports using a PCBA circuit board. It includes a standard PCI bracket for fixed mounting on a server or desktop chassis rear panel. The hardware enables direct signal passthrough for SAS storage connections without requiring drivers.

Suits RAID HBA Expansion

Builders connecting external SAS cables to internal backplanes or drive enclosures will find this fit for purpose. The bracket secures the adapter firmly, avoiding loose cabling inside the case. Buyers who need a different port count or a converter for an interface other than SAS should look at other options.

SFF8088 to SFF8087 Conversion

The single specification that decides compatibility is the dualport SFF8088 female to SFF8087 female signal translation. Your RAID controller or HBA must present external SFF8088 connectors while your target storage devices use internal SFF8087 connectors. Verify both sides match before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Can this adapter connect my existing RAID HBA card with external SFF8088 ports to an internal SFF8087 backplane?

Yes, the board converts two external SFF8088 female ports into two internal SFF8087 female ports so you can route SAS signals from the HBA to an internal backplane or enclosure.

How do I confirm the adapter is passing SAS signals correctly after installing it?

When the RAID controller or HBA detects the connected drives through the adapter and the storage array reports healthy status with no signal errors, the link is operating as intended.

Does the package include the PCI bracket and Mini SAS cables, or must I buy cables separately?

The adapter comes with the standard PCI slot mounting bracket attached; Mini SAS cables for the SFF8088 and SFF8087 sides are not included and must be purchased separately.
